The Buckville access site provides a boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats onto the Ouachita River and Lake Ouachita in Arkansas. Nestled within the Ouachita National Forest, Lake Ouachita offers 700 miles of undeveloped shoreline and more than 100 islands, making it a popular destination for paddlers.
The Buckville access point is located about 5.4 miles from the Rabbit Tail access area, a trip that paddlers can typically cover in around 2-3 hours. The coves and protected areas near the Rabbit Tail site provide calm water ideal for kayaking and canoeing. Boaters should be aware of the lake's size and choose low-wind days to fully enjoy the scenic surroundings. Amenities at the Buckville site include a concrete boat ramp, pit toilets, picnic tables, and primitive camping areas, making it a convenient launching point for a day on the water.
